Public Signages: 20 Beautiful Photos

When we see the ‘Stop’ sign as we drive, we know reflexively that we need to stop or we might end up in a car accident. Such connections are vital to our everyday lives. We know what to expect when we see a signage, and either consciously or subconsciously, what we get from the signage helps us make decisions. Advertisements, traffic signs, information signs are just some of the most common ones we encounter daily.

Given the significance of the signages we see, some photographers have taken the initiative of snapping away memorable ones in celebration of their aesthetic value. As we always do in Hongkiat.com, we have combed the net to bring to our loyal readers a few of these awesome shots. To be exact, we have 20 fine signages to share with you today.

Bike Signage. A very neatly printed signage on an anti-slip flooring found in a metro in Antwerp, Belgium. The contrast between the black ink and the yellow warning background brings a sense of clarity to anyone who sees it at first sight. (Image credit: Crystian Cruz)

Rusty Stop Sign. No matter how rusty the ‘Stop’ sign may seem, the contrast between the red background and white fonts will always be enough to exude that authoritative feel. (Image credit: Smashing Magazine)

ATM Signage at Shopping Centre. I thought this was graphical until I looked closer. Apparently, this was taken in real-life but the smooth surfaces gave me that illusion. Amazing stuff. (Image credit: Smashing Magazine)
